The XC9510 series consists of a step-down DC/DC converter and a high-speed LDO regulator connected in series with the DC/DC converter's output. A voltage detector is also built-in. A highly efficient, low noise output is possible since the regulator is steppeddown further from the DC/DC output. The DC/DC converter block incorporates a P-Channel driver transistor and a synchronous N-Channel switching transistor. With an external coil, diode and two capacitors, the XC9510 can deliver output currents up to 800mA at efficiencies over 90%. The XC9510 is designed for use with small ceramic capacitors. A choice of three switching frequencies are available, 300 kHz, 600 kHz, and 1.2 MHz. |
